With February just around the corner, a low-slung cloud of love fast approaches. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time of year to express your feelings, romantic or otherwise, and shower your someone special in affectionate gestures and thoughtful gifts. The latter, though, can be a little tricky, don’t you find? While not everyone celebrates Valentine’s Day, the holiday is still one of the most popular days worldwide for spending money, and yet many struggle to think of an appropriate gift for their partner. But you shouldn’t worry – that’s where we come in.

Timeless treats

This wouldn’t be a Valentines gift guide without at least one mention of chocolates and flowers, and with good reason. Although it has been done, you really can’t go much wrong with a bouquet of fresh and fragrant flowers alongside a box of delectable chocolates. Pop out to a local florist and choose a selection of radiant lilies, or roses, or tulips, and grab a nice, big box of chocolates on the way home. Both super easy and very effective, this is a classic gift that many (many) husbands get away with every year!

 

Give the gift of comfort

One of my personal favourites from our current collection has to be our equal parts stylish and snug heart print hoodie blanket. This gift is fabulous for a partner as well as a galentine, or really anyone who can appreciate some encompassing comfort. The pink and red of this hoodie blanket are bold and bright, making this an eye-catching piece that absolutely expresses love. This hoodie also comes in 4 different colours, so its perfect if you want to go for matching vibes this Valentine’s Day while you snuggle up with your favourite rom-com, or share some wine with gal-pals. We also have some gorgeous hoodie blankets made specially for your pooch, so you can even get them into the fun as well.

Similarly, another way to show a little love is to consider your partner’s spare time. Investing in their collection of comfort essentials ensures your valentine always has something at home to look forward to. Select from a comprehensive range of loving loungewears, from sherpa lined dressing gowns and pyjamas to essential fluffy slippers and must-have hot water bottles.

 

Love is in the air… literally

A candle or other mode of home fragrance is a fantastic gift for your valentine. As well as providing warm and ambient mood lighting, candles also craft a romantic or calming atmosphere with their varied scents. If your recipient loves a clean and cosy space to relax in, they are bound to love the gift of a thoughtfully selected candle which they can light after a long day and enjoy some light home aromatherapy as they recoup. I recommend you take some time to investigate and think about the scents your partner or friend loves. Yankee candles and diffusers are great options for this, known for their wide range of scents at costs that don’t break the bank! Also, while we're on the topic, there is nothing cheaper, easier, and more romantic than a display of tealights scattered across the room.

 

Is it hot in here?

Another gift, that I would personally love this time of year, is something both gorgeous and practical. Give the gift of saving with our lovely electric blankets, which are fabulous for negating the need for turning on the heat and keeping those extra pennies and pounds where they belong: the bank. If your loved one is partial to the shivers and can’t help themselves turning the heating up, our own sherpa lined electric blanket features 9 different heat settings, completely adjustable to personal preference and can reduce bills with a running cost of only 2p per hour. We even have wearable heated hoodie blankets. What could be a better gesture of love?

 

Reward love with relaxation

One of my favourite things about this time of year is the downtime. With the sky so dark and the weather so bleak, there is much time to spend indoors focusing on comfort, relaxation, and self-care. I recommend investing in your partner or friend’s alone-time with our range of bathroom essentials, stuffed with products that will elevate their routine and advance their relaxation as this new year progresses. From luxurious towels to handy bath racks and pillows, there are fabulous gifts at low prices within our bathroom category. This is a thoughtful and considerate gift that is sure to put a smile on your recipient’s face and lets them know you care about their comfort and well-being.

 

Wear your heart in a hamper…

A lot of the time, people can’t settle on one gift for their valentine. If this is you, I recommend packing a hamper with bits and bobs to really surprise your partner with a thoughtful and comprehensive gesture. Stuff it full of their favourite things – jars of their favourite jam, lovely bread and light snacks, some votive candles and luxurious soaps or bubble bath, stuffed teddies and strawberries, maybe a bottle of prosecco. Why not fill a hamper with the recommendations from above for the perfect stay-at-home valentine’s date?

 

This Valentine's Day, let your love blossom within the walls of your home. With the perfect gifts, you can create a sanctuary of love and warmth to make your special person feel exactly that… special. Remember, it's not just about the products but the thought and care you put into selecting items that resonate with your partner's style, comfort, and your shared memories. Show a little love with our Valentines gift range and have a happy Valentine's Day from everybody as OHS!
